If the warning light does not come on initially when
the key is turned to “ ” (on), or if the warning
light remains on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
For non-differential gear lock models
This warning light comes on or flashes when an
electrical circuit monitoring the engine is not work-
ing correctly. When this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the self-diagnostic system. For differential gear lock models
This warning light comes on or flashes if a problem
is detected in the electrical circuit monitoring the
engine. When this occurs, the display will indicate
an error code (see page 5-6). Have a Yamaha
dealer check the self-diagnostic system.

5
If the steering load is too heavy (i.e., excessive
steering use when the ATV is traveling at a slow
speed), the power assist is reduced to protect
the EPS motor from overheating.
EBU17955Four-wheel drive indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the drivetrain
is set to “4WD” (four-wheel drive).TIPDue to the synchronizing mechanism in the differ-
ential gear case, the light may not come on until
the ATV starts moving. EBU38751Differential gear lock indicator light “ ”
(equipped models)
This indicator light comes on when the drivetrain
is set to “4WD” with the differential gear locked.TIPWhen using the On-Command differential gear
lock switch, the “ ” indicator light will flash until
the differential gear is completely locked or un-
